While nobody will be directly thanking the pandemic for happening, there is no denying that it had a huge impact on the way that we are living our lives today. There are still several ways that its impact can be felt, with many still wearing masks when out and about while others are more conscious about hygiene.<\/p>\n

As many were forced to spend time at home because of the restrictions that were put in place, people were made to find several different activities to take up. While it became easy to spend time in front of a screen and play video games or binge-watch TV series and films, others opted to go for tabletop games.<\/p>\n

Card games like Magic: The Gathering<\/a>, classic board games like Monopoly, and miniature war games like Warhammer have all seen a surge in popularity. Others even played card games that would typically be found amongst a collection of casino games<\/a> like blackjack and poker, as they are simple to enjoy at home with other family members.<\/p>\n

As a result, tabletop games have started to make a big comeback, with a variety of reasons possible to highlight to suggest why this might be the case.<\/p>\n

Nostalgia and Familiarity<\/h2>\n

Tabletop games can provide several emotions that other types of game may not be able to offer. This includes nostalgia and familiarity for older generations. In the past, people grew up with these games and spent a lot of time with each other enjoying what they had to offer. Newer generations may not be too familiar with them because gaming has been mainly digital in recent decades. The exposure that they received during the pandemic will have helped to reconnect people with this game type, while they will have given younger players something new to experience.<\/p>\n

Social Aspect<\/h2>\n

Social interaction can be at its best when playing a tabletop game<\/a>, which is perhaps why they have started to emerge and make a comeback. Players can communicate with each other regarding whatever they want at any pace they wish. This has not always been possible with other forms of gaming, thus making them a great way to connect with each other. Moreover, individuals can communicate in a physical environment as they can see each other, rather than having to rely on just audio or through a screen.<\/p>\n

Imagination and Creativity<\/h2>\n

Tabletop games can force players to use a variety of skills and techniques that they may not encounter in other games, thus making them popular and helping them to make a comeback. Board games or card games can force individuals to think as there is no technology involved in making decisions for them. Players need to use their brains to make decisions, thus helping them to improve a range of cognitive skills while also potentially tapping into the creative part of their minds, too. Imagination can be required with tabletop games, thus helping them to create their own stories.<\/p>\n

Verdict<\/h2>\n

Tabletop games are experiencing a resurgence in popularity due to their ability to provide a fun and social outlet during the pandemic. With gamers continuing to look for new experiences that can provide a level of immersion, these titles might just continue to grow in popularity in years to come, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
